Buffy Musical Episode – Wish I Could Stay lyrics

GILES:

You're not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending but you just can't hide
i know i said that I'd be standing by your side...
but I...
Your paths unbeaten and it's all uphill
and you can't meet it but you never will
and i'm the reason you're your standing still
but I...

I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
Wish I could stay
but now I understand
I'm standing in the way

The cries around you you don't here at all
Coz you know i'm here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
but I....

I wish I could lay your arms down and let you rest at last
Wish I could slay your demons but now that time has passed
Wish i could stay
You're stallwort standing fast
But I'm standing in the way,
I'm just standing in the way

TARA:

I'm under your spell
God how could this be?
Playing with my memory
You know I've been through hell
Willow don't you see?
There'll be nothing left of me
You made me believe

Giles: believe me i don't wanna go

Both: and it'll grieve me coz i love you so
but we both know

Giles: Wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land
(Tara: Wish I could trust that it was just this once but i must do what i must)
Giles: Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand
(Tara: Can't adjust to this disgust, which I, I just wish i could)

Both: Staaaaay
wish I could stay
wish I could stay
wish I could....stay.....
